New Car!

Since having our first child in 2012, we have really been struggling with one thing I hadn’t anticipated on struggling with - an inability to travel because both my wife and I had small cars. She drove a Mazda Protege, and I a Toyota Tacoma.

For some reason, babies need lots of things, and as my daughter grew beyond her infant carseat, we were now unable to go for longer than a single night simply because we couldn’t fit enough stuff in either of our vehicles.

Well, no more! Last night, we bought a Volkswagen Jetta Golf SportWagen!

On Burned Furs (2.0) and the Death of the Fandom

So here we are, five months later. This shit is still going, getting louder and more annoying. People are doxxing each other, block lists are being passed around, chat logs are being leaked and a lot of digital bits are being spilled. People are accusing each other of killing the fandom and saying that it’s already dead or something. Others are taking the true spirit of iconoclasm and applying it to the fandom’s reputation and history. All the while a lot of people are looking on as shit gets more and more outlandish.

On Trolling, Nazis and the Furry Fandom

Happy Easter everyone.

So this started out as a tweetstorm, but I thought it might be better as a blog post, so here goes.

So we seem to be having a bit of an issue right now with neo-Nazis in the furry fandom. Now, whether these people are actual neo-Nazis or just middle class punk kids looking to get a rise out of people is another question, but for the time being, I am going to take these people at their word and assume they actually believe in the tenets of National Socialism. After all, when you retweet posts celebrating Hitler’s birthday, you just might be a neo-Nazi.

Let's Talk About Furry Cons

We need to talk about cons.

This post began as a series of tweets, in reaction to Furry Weekend Atlanta’s announcement that they were going to try something different to replace the fursuit parade. This is, of course, a divisive issue. Some people have called parades “death marches” (which I think is a bit of an exaggeration) while others are apoplectic with rage that their favorite event of the con is changing.
